First sentence: Different types of voltage-dependent calcium (Ca2+) channels (VCCs) in the plasma-membrane control depolarization-induced Ca2+ entry into cells, thereby serving important physiological functions, including excitation-contraction coupling, neurotransmitter and hormone release, and neuronal plasticity (for review, see refs. 1-4).
